Power antenna assembly???????

[Jbot]

Hey all.
I have a 99 runner on which the power antenna does not work.
I know i can do the taco whip but at this point id rather just fix the old one.
Its not the mast that is broken it is the actual motor (seems like a cog in the motor will not grab onto the plastic core).

So my question is, does anybody know where i can get a motor for the antenna???

Thanks

I would highly recommend the Taco Mod or another aftermarket antenna. These power antenna's are horrible. I went through 2 mishaps with the stock power antenna before going a different direction.

If you really want the motor then maybe a junk yard? Could try a dealer, but I think they are expensive.

There are a lot of eBay replacement masts out there that do exactly as you describe right out of the box. That might be your problem. Check out this thread:
